Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for swirl)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
  7. Divide the dough in half; roll each half into a rectangle approximately 9×6 inches.
  8. Spread half of the cinnamon swirl mixture onto one rectangle of dough, then roll it tightly into a log. Repeat with the second half.
  9. Slice each log into 12 cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
  11. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra decadence, drizzle a simple vanilla glaze over the cooled cookies or add chopped pecans to the cinnamon swirl for a crunchy texture.
